Prenatal Yoga

I went to my first prenatal yoga class last night and absolutely loved it!  It was just the thing I needed to help me begin to get more active and relax me at the same time.  It was also great connecting with other ladies that are having a baby also.  I was the least amount along but everyone excepted me completely.  I loved reconnecting with my breath and focusing on my body and the changes that are happening to it.  Definitely an activity I plan to return to!  I also plan on taking some other yoga classes while I am still early on in my pregnancy.

Thankful

I have decided that I should put down in writing what I am thankful for and why.  No this isn't for a class, it's not an assignment.  I just feel that sometimes we take for granted what we already have.  So here goes:

I am thankful for my wonderful husband, Bryon.  He is my other half, and though I can function independently without him, I feel sooo much better with him.  He completes me.  I am thankful that he cares for me just as much, listens to me, thinks about me, and considers me!

I am thankful for my wonderful stepson (referred to as my son, from here on out in other postings!), Asher.  While I recently came into his life just a couple of years ago, he has accepted me for who I am.  We have days that are a struggle, but each day gets better and better.  I am thankful to have such a loving son in my life!

I am thankful for the little appleseed growing bigger and bigger everyday inside of me.  It is amazing that I have something so small in me that will be a human in about seven months.  I am thankful that we did not have any problems making this little one and I anticipate the day I get to meet our baby.

I am thankful for my mom and dad and my sister.  They have always been there for me.  Sometimes telling me what I don't want to hear, but always supportive.  They will always be there for me in the future.  I hope that I am half as supportive for them as they are for me.

I am thankful for my job.  Even on the days that I am praying the phone will ring to cancel my shift and I have to go in because it doesn't.  Having a full time job enables me to provide for my family. 

I am thankful for my doggies, Fivel and Bear.  I don't walk them like I should, I feel I don't take care of them somedays (I know I do, but...).  They still show love for me everyday like it's the first day I have met them.

I am thankful for having a home.  There is something about coming home everyday that is the nicest feeling in the world.

I am thankful for life!  Without it, what's the point of living?

First Things First

So I have finally reached my motivation threshold to start a blog (something I have been writing in my head for quite some time now).  There are so many things to think about when starting one.  Who am I writing to? Do I really need a theme?  What can I write about that will interest others?

I have decided to start out by writing to myself as an audience.  I don't really have a theme, just comments on my life as it is is right now.  As far as interesting others, as long as I interest myself at the moment, I consider this a success.

With all that being put out there, I say enjoy to those that stumble up my ramblings!
